About Me

Hey! I'm Shay Meadows (she/her), aka Fat Life Coach — and I'm passionate about helping women break free from diet culture, find their voice and take up space.

For most of my life, I believed that if I could just shrink my body, everything would fall into place. I tried diet after diet, convinced that my failure to keep the weight off was a personal flaw. Each time a diet ended and the weight returned, I blamed myself. The shame felt relentless.  ​

After years of battling an eating disorder, I finally discovered what true healing looks like: recovery doesn’t always mean a smaller body. Instead, it meant embracing my body as it is — without conditions. Through radical self-acceptance and educating myself about who really profits in the weight loss industry — I learned that I could stop chasing the numbers and start building a life that's full of joy, adventure and playfulness — no matter my size.

​

Now, I use my experience to support other women who feel stuck in the endless cycle of dieting and self-blame. Through coaching, hands-on support, and group spaces, I create judgment-free zones where women can celebrate themselves unapologetically.

​

I offer personalized recovery support both virtually and in the Atlanta area. Whether you need guidance with embracing intuitive eating, navigating food anxiety, or building confidence in your everyday life, I’m here to walk alongside you!

​

Together, we’ll tackle the hard stuff, celebrate the wins, and build a life that’s not defined by the number on a scale.

Ready to step off the dieting rollercoaster and embrace the life you deserve? Let’s connect!
